Join us as we explore the difference between the two τις in the Greek New Testament (GNT) as found in Acts 17:20 and Mark 2:6-7 and other verses in the GNT.
Acts 17:20
ξενίζοντα γάρ τινα εἰσφέρεις εἰς τὰς ἀκοὰς ἡμῶν·
βουλόμεθα οὖν γνῶναι τίνα θέλει ταῦτα εἶναι.
You are bringing some novelties for us to hear;
we want to know what these are.
Mark 2:6-7
ἦσαν δέ τινες τῶν γραμματέων ἐκεῖ καθήμενοι καὶ διαλογιζόμενοι ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν
Τί οὗτος οὕτως λαλεῖ; βλασφημεῖ· τίς δύναται ἀφιέναι ἁμαρτίας εἰ μὴ εἷς ὁ Θεός;
There were some scribes there eating and thinking in their hearts
“Why does he talk this way? Who can forgive sins but God?”
